Karolina has 5 losses in a row, most fighters don't get that many chances. I don't think she'll be back after that

She didn’t even lose by going into her guard. She lost by going for a choke instead of keeping top position then letting penne take her down because her arms were busy going for a guillotine that was nowhere near to being locked in. 
There was a fence drab that helped penne stay on her feet when her leg was locked up. Even still after that karolina reacted to slow in attempting to get any kind of guard back. Done very well to defend that arm bar but when she got back to her feet all she had to do was put her weight lol penne and push her knee into her ass for leverage to get her arm out. Instead she chose to try and slam and roll her way out giving Jessica full control of everything. I wonder if she trains at all anymore tbh because those mistakes are ones you will learn to cut out from rolling with high level White belts and blue belts even.

Yeah I dont trust a homecourt advantage in fighting. Unless we're talking about international fights.

Imagine Herman on a 4 fight winstreak if he wins this. At light heavyweight that’s not far off getting ranked. Crazy that he’s still around never mind winning. Even though he lost to Rodriguez. I don’t rate menifieldtbh. A one round fighter. I can see him getting a takedown and getting subbed or gassing and getting subbed if he doesn’t end this early

lol Bovada has Lewis +265 to win, but only +250 by KO. Never seen odds get worse the more specific the prop.
